THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE The University of Newcastle began its existence as the Newcastle

University College of the University of New South Wales, then known as the New South Wales University of Technology. The College was formally opened on 3rd December, 1951, and the first students were enrolled in the 1952 academic year. By the University of Newcastle Act of 1964 it became an autonomous institution on 1st January, 1965.

Enrolments in the first year of the College's existence totalled 370 of whom only five were starting degree courses - the others were seeking a diploma or were converting their diplomas into degrees. In 1954 courses in the Faculty of Arts were offered for the first time. As the New South Wales University of Technology, whose courses were given in the College, had no Faculty of Arts, supervision of these courses was entrusted to the University of New England. 'This relationship continued until 1959 by which time the New South Wales University of Technology had become the University of New South Wales and was empowered to offer courses in the Faculty of Arts. Enrolments have steadily increased, reaching 1000 in 1960 and 2286 in 1968.

The Newcastle University College was established on the site of the Newcastle Technical College at Tighe's Hill and some faculties still operate there. In 1960 an area of some 200 acres was acquired at Shortland and building commenced in 1964. The transfer of the University began at the end of 1965 and work is underway to have the University fully established at Shortland by the beginning of the 1970 academic year. In 1969 courses in the Faculties of Applied Science, Arts, Economics and Commerce, and Science will be offered at Short­land excepting second and later year Chemistry subjects which will be offered initially at Tighe's Hill but will move to Shortland during the year. Courses in the Faculties of Architecture and Engineering will be given at Tighe's Hill. The branch library will continue to operate at Tighe's Hill.

The University is governed by a Council of twenty-three members of whom one, the Chancellor, acts as chairman. The Council com­prises representatives of the University staff, Convocation, the under­graduates, the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly; nominees of the Governor; and the Vice-Chancellor who is the chief executive officer of the University,

The present Chancellor of the University is Senator the Honour­able Sir Alister McMullin, K.C.M.G., D.Litt., President of the Senate. Professor J. J. Auchmuty, M.A., Ph.D.(DubJ, M.R.I.A., F.R.Hist.S., F.I.A.L. is the Vice-Chancellor and Principal.

The principal academic body in the University is the Senate com­prising the Vice-Chancellor, Professors, a representative of each of the Faculty Boards and certain other ex officio members. Teaching and research in each Faculty are supervised by a Faculty Board con­sisting principally of the permanent academic staff of the Depart­ments in the Faculty.

The University is financed by grants from the New South Wales and Commonwealth Governments and fees paid by students. The State and Commonwealth Governments contribute equally to the ~ost of buildings and major items of equipment whilst with respect to recurrent expenditure, the Commonwealth contributes $1 for every $1.85 received by way of State grant and student fees.

19

A letter will be sent to all students who "Show Cause"_ Those whose re-enrolment is approved will also be sent an enrolment form and details of procedure for stUdent to complete enrolment. .

(v) Sydney University Matriculation Students relying on this examination for matriculation should call at the Student Records Office, Shortland site, after the publication of results and obtain an "Application for Ad­mission" and an "Enrolment Form". After completion of these forms, the student will be directed to an academic adviser.

UNIVERSITY SKILLS ASSESSMENT All new first year students will be required to attend the University on Thursday and Friday, 27th and 28th February, 1969, for University Skills Assessment. Full-time attendance on both days will be required. Further details will be posted to the student during the enrolment period.

MATRICULATION CEREMONY A Matriculation Ceremony will be held during first term and as part of the proceedings new students, excepting those who have been admitted with provisional matriculation status, will be expected to sign the Matriculation Register.

ENROLMENT IN CORRECT SUBJECTS

Considerable inconvenience is caused to the University and to the student if he reads a subject in which he has not enrolled. It is essential for the student to determine before submitting his Enrolment Form, the subjects he will read for the year. Particular attention should be made to the inclusion of Honours courses where these are taken.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSE REGARDED AS FAILURE Approval to withdraw from a course is not automatic. It should be noted that ,a student is regarded as having failed in a course if he enrols in it and does not pass the annual examinations -i.e. not sitting for the examination is regarded as not passing the examination (unless withdrawal has been approved). A student is required to notify The Secretary of the University in writing of his withdrawal within seven (7) days of the date

25

of withdrawal. With the exception of students in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Economics .and Commerce, no student will be allowed to withdraw without penalty after the sixth Monday of second term unless, in the opinion of the Dean of the }<'aculty, there is good reason why he should be permitted to do so.

In the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Economics and Com­merce, a student who withdr.aws after the second Friday in second term from a subject in which he has enrolled, shall be deemed to have failed in that subject. However, such a student may apply to the Dean, who, after consultation with the Head of the Department concerned, may allow him to withdraw without penalty.

AMENDMENTS

The following matters are regarded as amendments to course programmes and are required to be documented: 1. complete withdrawal from course * 2. withdrawal from subject(s) 3. substituting subject(s) 4. transferring from full-time to part-time within degree 5. transferring from part-time to full-time within degree 6. transferring from one degree to another 7. transferring from one faculty to another 8. standing in degree course on account of subjects completed

within this University t

NOTES * The student is liable for fees up to the date on which his ap­

plication to withdraw is received by the University. t When requesting exemption in subject unit(s) or substituting

unit(s) within a subject, no Variation Application is required, BUT the Head of the Department concerned must be formally notified in writing.

HOW TO DOCUMENT WITHDRAWALS AND AMENDMENTS All withdrawals and amendments should be recorded on a Variation Application Form. It is essential that these variations be completed before 31st March, 1969. Automatic approval is not given; the student must have valid and sufficient reasons for making the change and these reasons should be stated on the Variation Application Form. Variation Application Forms (pink) are available from the Student Records Office.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS Students are responsible for notifying the Student Records Office in writing of any change in their address as soon as possible. Failure to do this could lead to important correspondence or course information not reaching the student. The University cannot accept responsibility if official communications fail to reach a student who has not notified Student Records Office of a change of address. The Transport Authorities may challenge a student whose .address on his identity token is incorrect.

26

IDENTITY TOKENS

Each student wishing to obtain a travel concession, to borrow a book from the Library or to confirm his membership of the University of Newcastle Union is required to produce on demand the identity token which will be given to him. . The student should present his fee receipt to the Student Records Office on or after Monday, 10th March, 1969 and he will be given an identity token for 1969. Students re-enrolling are permitted to use their 1968 identity tokens up to Friday, 7th March, 1969.

Loss of Identity Token

If a student loses his identity token, he should pay to the University Cashier, the sum of 50c., and present the receipt to the Student Records Office for the purpose of obtaining a replacement token. A delay of approximately ten days is involved in this procedure.

Return of Identity Token

Each student, who during the academic year withdraws completely from his course, will be required to hand his Identity Token to the Student Records Office before leaving the University.

Non-Degree Students and Identity Token

Each non-degree student, who does not elect to pay the General Services Fee, will be issued with an embossed plain white token. This token is to be produced each time a travel concession is requested. It must also be shown on request to prove status as a student of the University.

TRAVEL CONCESSIONS

The various transport authorities provide fare concessions for certain classes of students. Application forms for these concessions may be obtained at the Student Records Section, Building "A," Shortland Site.

The Student's Identity Token has to be produced each time a concession is required.

OMNIBUS - Concessions are available to:-(a) students under 18 years of age irrespective of whether

they are employed or receive income or remuneration. (b) students between 18 and 30 years of age who are not in

employment nor in receipt of any income or remuneration.

FAILURE TO PAY FEES

Any student who is indebted to the University and who fails to make a satisfactory settlement of his indebtedness upon receipt of due notice ceases to be entitled to membership and privileges of the University. Such a student is not permitted to register for a further term, to attend classes or examinations, or to be granted any official credentials. The student is not eligible to attend the annual examinations in any subject where any portion of his Course Fees for the year is outstanding by the end of the fourth week of third term. In very special cases the Vice-Principal may grant exemption from this disqualification upon receipt of a written statement setting out all relevant facts.

FEE ADJUSTMENTS

Should an application to withdraw from a course or a subject be approved, an adjustment of course fees may be made, based on the date the application is received by the University; fees accrue up to that date. Where notification of withdrawal from a course is received by the Dean of the Faculty before the first day of First Term, a refund will be made of all Course Fees. Where a student for acceptable reasons notifies the termination of a course before the end of the fifth week of term, one-half of the Course Fees for the term may be refunded. If the student notifies termination of a course after the end of the fifth week of term, no refund will be made. THE UNIVERSITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEFER, UNTIL AFTER THE END OF THE SIXTH WEEK OF TERM, THE PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS FOR FEE REFUNDS RECEIVED IN THE EARLY PART OF FIRST TERM. The University Administration does not refund any portion of the General Services Fee. However, students withdrawing from courses may enquire of the Union, Sports' Union and Students' Association regarding refund possibilities.

DESIGNATION OF STUDENTS

A Full-Time Student is a student who enrols in more than half the subjects of a normal first year course and such a student remains classified as a full-time student until the written approval of the Dean of the Faculty is given that he be re-classified as a part-time student. This re-classification would be exceptional.

A Part-Time Student is either one who enrols in half or less than half of the subjects of a normal first year course or one who enrols in a part-time course. In subsequent years, the enrolment as a part-time student requires the approval of the Dean of the Faculty.

A Non-De~ree Student is a student who is permitted to read one or more subjects of a first degree course. Such a person is not eligible to. proceed to a degree and cannot enjoy the privileges of a matriculated student. A student enrolled in the Professional Accounting Studies course in the Faculty of Economics & Commerce is classified as a Non-Degree student reading one subject.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The University tries to function with a minimum of formal

regulations; it has, for instance, drawn up no code of conduct for students, beyond forbidding gambling in the precincts and smoking in lectures, examinations and the Library.

It is obvious, however, that there must be standard practice throughout the University in such diverse matters as examination procedures and car parking and an acceptance of certain requirements which are described in the following pages.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS The student is responsible for informing himself as to, and for complying with, University requirements, especially the require­ments relating to admission and to the award of the degree for which he is reading.

NOTICES Official University notices are displayed on the notice boards and students are expected to be acquainted with the contents of those announcements which concern them.

NOTICE BOARDS

Examinations

A notice board has been placed on the wall opposite the entrance to the Main Lecture Theatre (B.Ol) Shortland Site for the specific purpose of displaying examination timetables and notices con­cerning all matters pertaining to examinations. Students are specifically requested to be acquainted with the notices period­ically displayed thereon.

Student Matters Generally

A notice board in the Student Records area is the display point for notices concerning enrolment matters, scholarships, University rules and travel concessions, etc.

ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES

Students are expected to be regular and punctual in attendance at all classes in the course or subject in which they are enrolled. All applications for exemption from attendance at lectures or practical classes must be made in writing to the Head of the appropriate Department. If term examinations have been missed this fact should be noted in the application. In the case of illness or of absence for some other unavoidable cause a student may be excused by the Head of the appropriate Department for non-attendance at classes for a period of not more than one month, or on the recommendation of the Head of the appropriate Department for any longer period. Applications for exemption from re-attendance at classes, either for lectures or practical work, may only be approved on the recommendation of the Head of the appropriate Department. The granting of an exemption from attendance does not carry with it exemption from payment of fees. Where a student has attended less than 80 per cent. of the possible classes, he may be refused permission to sit for the annual examination in that subject.

33

OWNERSHIP OF STUDENTS' WORK Unless other arrangements have been agreed upon the University reserves the right to retain at its own discretion the original or one copy of any drawings, models, designs, plans and specifications, essays, theses, or other work executed by students as part of their courses, or submitted for any award or competition conducted by the University.

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION Students are expected to carry their receipt for First Term enrol­ment as evidence that they are entitled to the rights and priv­ileges afforded by the University. Each student wishing to obtain a travel concession, to borrow a book from the Library or to confirm his membership of the University of Newcastle Union is required to produce on demand the identity token which will be given to him. The student should present his fee receipt to the Student Records Office on or after Monday, 10th March, 1969 and he will be given an identity token for 1969.

Loss of Identity Token If a student loses his identity token, he should pay to the University Cashier, the sum of 50c., and present the receipt to the Student Records Office for the purpose of obtaining a replacement token. A delay of approximately ten days is involved in this procedure.

Return of Identily Token Each student, who during the academic year withdraws completely from his course, will be required to hand his Identity Token to the Student Records Office before leaving the University.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS Students are responsible for notifying Student Records Office in writing of any change in their address as soon as possible. Failure to do this could lead to important correspondence or course in­formation not reaching the student. The University cannot accept responsibility if official communications fail to reach a student who has not notified Student Records office of a change of address. The Transport Authorities may challenge a student whose address on his identity token is incorrect.

GENERAL CONDUCT Acceptance as a member of the University implies an undertaking on the part of the student to observe the by-laws and other requirements of the University. Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a seemly fashion. Smoking is not permitted during lectures, in examination rooms or in the University Library. Gambling is forbidden. Members of the academic staff of the University, senior adminis­trative officers, and other persons authorised for the purpose have authority, and it is their duty, to check and report on disorderly or improper conduct occurring in the University.

PARKING OF CARS On the Tighe's Hill Site the authorities of the Newcastle Technical College are responsible for traffic control and parking, and their regulations, traffic signs, etc., must be obeyed. At Shortland, all vehicles must be parked in a car park.

34

EXAMINATIONS

Examinations and other exercises may be held in any subject and at any time. In the assessment of a student's progress in a University course, consideration will be given to laboratory work and class exercises and to any term or other tests conducted throughout the year. The results of such examinations and class work may be incorporated with those of the annual examinations.

ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS

A student desiring to sit for an annual examination must lodge an application with the Secretary on the appropriate form by the prescribed date, 20th June, 1969.

A student who, because of religious convictions, would prefer not to sit for an examination on a particular day or particular day of the week should indicate this in writing when lodging his application to sit for the examination. While the University cannot guarantee to meet such requests it will be willing to co-operate where possible.

The cashier is authorised to receive application forms during the three weeks immediately following the prescribed closing date if they are accompanied by a late fee of $4.00. Applications submitted more than three weeks after the closing date will not be accepted except with the approval of the Secretary. Where an application is not accepted, the student concerned is not eligible to sit for the examination.

No student is eligible to attend the annual examination in any subject if any portion of fees or other charges due by him is out­standing by the end of the third week of third term.

The annual examinations take place in November-December. Timetables showing the time and place at which individual examin­ations will be held will be posted on the Examinations notice board near the Main Lecture Theatre. Misreading of the timetable will not under any circumstances be an acceptable excuse for failure to attend an examination.

Examinations are conducted in accordance with the following rules and procedure:

(a) Candidates are required to obey any instruction given by a Supervisor for the proper conduct of the examination.

(b) Candidates are expected to be in their places in the examina­tion room not less than ten minutes before the time for com­mencement of the examination.

(c) No bag, writing paper, blotting paper, manuscript or book, other than a specified aid, is to be brought into the examina­tion room.

(d) No candidate shall be admitted to an examination after thirty minutes from the time for the commencement of the examination.

(e) No candidate shall be permitted to leave the examination room before the expiry of thirty minutes from the com­mencement of the examination.

35

(f) No candidate shall be re-admitted to the examination room after he has left it unless during the full period of his absence he has been under approved supervision.

(g) A candidate shall not by any improper means obtain or en­deavour to obtain assistance in his work, give or endeavour to give assistance to any other candidate, or commit any breach of good order.

(h) Smoking is not permitted during the course of an examina­tion.

(j) A candidate who commits any infringement of the rules governing examinations is liable to disqualification at the particular examination, and if detected at the time, to im­mediate expUlsion from the examination room, and is liable to such further penalty as may be determined.

FURTHER EXAMINATIONS After completion of the written annual examination papers, a

student may be called upon by an examiner to complete further written, practical or oral tests as part of the annual examination. It is therefore important that the Examinations Branch be advised of any change in address from that given on the Application for Admis­sion to Examinations.

EXAMINATION RESULTS The official examination results will be posted on the notice board

in the Student Records Office area. It is planned to advise each student by mail of his examination results. A set of examination results will be offered to the newspapers for publication. No results will be given by telephone.

Examination results may be reviewed for a fee of $6.00 per sub­ject, which is refundable in the event of an error being discovered. Applications for review must be submitted on the appropriate form together with the prescribed fee by the date notified in the publication of results.

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS

Special examinations may be granted according to the conditions contained in By-law 5.9.3 which states:-

5. When a candidate is prevented by illness or by any other serious cause from presenting himself for the annual examina­tion the appropriate Faculty Board may order a special exam­ination for that candidate in the subject or subjects in which he was unable to present himself. The result of a special examination may be graded.

6. When a candidate's studies during the academic year have been <;ravely hampered by illness or other serious cause, the Ilppropriate Faculty Board upon application being made to the Secretary to the University before the commencing date of the examination supported by medical or other proper evidence may direct the examiners to take the circumstances into account in determining whether or not a special examination should be provided for the candidate in any subject in which he does not pass at the annual examination.

36

7. When a candidate at the annual examination is to a sub­stantial degree affected by illness during the course of an examination in any subject the appropriate Faculty Board, upon application being made to the Secretary to the University within three days after such examination or within such further period as the Vice-Chancellor may consider reasonable in the circumstances supported by medical or other proper evidence, may direct the examiners in that subject to take the circumstances into account if the candidate does not pass therein in determining whether or not a special examination or test should be provided for him: provided that no such application shall be considered unless the candidate either during or immediately after such examination reports to the supervisor in charge the circumstances relied on in the application.

DEFERRED EXAMINATIONS

Deferred examinations may be granted in the Faculties of Applied Science, Architecture and Engineering to resolve a doubt. The exam­inations will be held in January-February and results will be pub­lished in the same manner as for the Annual Examinations.

37

ACADEMIC PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL

To assist those students who may be unsuited to university study or whose circumstances jeopardise success at study and to deal with those stUdents whose lack of success has a detrimental effect on the work of the course, the University has enacted certain By-laws relat­ing to continuation in a course. The relevant By-laws are set out below.

BY-LAWS

By-law 5.4.1 - Unsatisfactory Progress

1. The Head of a Department in any Faculty may determine that a student taking a subject or course offered by the Department shall be excluded from any examination for which the Department is responsible for any or all of the following reasons:-

(a) Unsatisfactory attendance at lectures; (b) Failure to complete laboratory work; (c) Failure to complete written work or other assignments; or (d) Failure to complete field work.

2. The Faculty. Board may review the academic progress of any student enrolled III the Faculty concerned who fails in or is absent from, or is excluded under section 1 of this By-law from 'any examina­tion and may determine:-

(a) that the student be excluded from further study in a subject; (b) that the student may enrol in that Faculty only in such sub­

ject or subjects as the Faculty Board shall specify; or (c) that the case be referred to the Admissions Committee if in

the opinion of the Faculty Board, the student should be 'ex­cluded from a degree course, from the Faculty or from the University.

3. The Admissions Committee, in considering a referral under sub-section (c) of section 2 and after giving the stUdent an opportunity to be heard, may determine:-

(a) that the student be excluded from a degree course or from the Faculty;

(b) that the student shall be permitted to continue his course subject to such conditions as the Admissions Committee may determine; or

(c) that the case be referred to the Vice-Chancellor with the recommendation that the stUdent be excluded from the University.

4. The Vice-Chancellor may, on the recommendation of the Admis­sions Committee, exclude from the University any student whose academic record in the opinion of the Vice-Chancellor and the Admissions Committee demonstrates the student's lack of fitness to pursue university studies.

38

By-law 5.4.2 - Show Cause

1. A student shall show cause why he should be allowed to repeat a subject in which he has failed more than once. Failure in a deferred examination as well as the annual examination counts for the pur­poses of this By-Iayv as one examination.

2. (1) A full-time student shall show cause why he should be allowed to continue a course if all subjects of the first year of his course are not completed by the end of his second year of attendance.

(2) A part-time student shall show cause why he should be allowed to continue a course if all subjects of the first two stages of his course a.re not completed by the end of his fourth year of attendance.

3. (1) A student who has a record of failure at another University shall show cause why he should be admitted to the University.

(2) A student admitted to a course at the University following a record of failure at another University shall show cause, notwith­standing any other provision in this By-law, why he should be allowed to continue in that course if he is unsuccessful in the annual exam­inations in his first year of attendance at the University.

4. A student required to show cause shall have his application con­sidered by the Admissions Committee which shall determine whether the cause shown is adequate to justify the student's being permitted to continue his course or to re-enrol as the case may be.

By-law 5.4.3 - Re-enrolment

1. Any student who has been excluded from a Faculty shall not be allowed to enrol in another Faculty without the permission of the Faculty Board concerned.

2. Any student excluded from a degree course or from a Faculty or from the University may apply after two academic years to the Admissions Committee for re-admission to any such Faculty or to the University. If the Admissions Committee is satisfied that the con­dition or circumstances of any such student have so changed that there is reasonable probability that he will make satisfactory progress in his studies it may. authorise the re-admission of that student under such conditions as it may determine.

By-law 5.4.4 - Appeal Against Exclusion

1. A student who is refused permission to enrol under the provisions of section 1 of By-law 5.4.3 may appeal to the Senate.

2. A student who has been excluded from any degree course or from a Faculty or from the University may appeal to the Council.

PROCEDURES

The onus is on a student required to "show cause" to initiate J action should he wish to re-enrol. He must interview the Dean of his

Faculty in accordance with the time-table announced towards the end of the academic year.

39

THE LIBRARY The Library, totalling approximately 130,000 volumes and made

up of monographs, pamphlets, serials and microform sets, exists to acquire, preserve and make available for use all research materials needed by the staff and students of the University. By 1970, all depart­ments now at Tighe's Hill will have been transferred to Shortland and all library service for the University will be given from the Short­land library. Library service for the Faculties of Architecture and Engineering, including Chemical Engineering, will, until these depart­ments are transferred, be given through the joint Technical College­University library at Tighe's Hill.

In both libraries, there is an almost complete freedom of access to the collections, and students are encouraged and aided to learn how to use, as soon as possible, the library and its contents. On registering, as a reader, the student is provided with a brochure out­lining the library's resources, its services, such as the copying service, its special faciliti~s, such as the microprint reading room, and pro­cedure for borrowmg.

The Shortland Library, fittingly, occupies a central position on the site, next to the Union. Hours of opening are:

Monday - Friday 8.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m.

Saturday

Sunday

Long vacation: Monday, Wednesday, Friday Tuesday and Thursday

9.00 a.m. to 9.15 p.m. (all vacations excepted)

UNIVERSITY SERVICES

STUDENT COUNSELLING UNIT The Student Counsellors assist students - past, present and

future - in a wide variety of matters. Most students, whatever their academic level, at one time or another need help in dealing with difficulties which arise during the course of their University lives.

Student Counselling is by now a thoroughly established and widely accepted part of University life throughout Australia, and at this University, approximately one-third of all students utilise it.

Students who have problems about their choice of course, or uncertainty about career plans; students who are worried about inadequate study methods or personal difficulties are invited to arrange an appointment with a Student Counsellor.

The S.C.U. is divided into three major divisions, although there is inevitably, overlap between the sections. These are Personal Coun­selling, Study Skills Training and Research. Apart from individual counselling, courses in an increasing number of areas are run for groups of students.

A student should not feel that he or she must have a major problem before consulting a Counsellor. Many worries take only a few minutes to clear up, and frequently the Counsellor's function is simply to direct a bewildered student to the right source of information.

In 1968, an Appointments Service was established within the S.C.U., and students are invited to register. Students in their final year may expect to receive all available advance information about career opportunities, and all students may register for part-time, casual or vacation employment. Students in the first group will be interviewed and may seek Vocational Guidance if they so desire.

"Study at the University Level" - The S.C.U. produced a brief but comprehensive book on this subject in 1967, and this can be ob­tained at the Bookshop for 40 cents. Although it was produced specifically for the students of Newcastle University, and reflects the attitudes of several Heads of Departments here, it is already widely used in other Universities and tertiary institutions throughout Australia. A Revised Edition was published in November, 1967 as the first printing had sold out.

STUDENT LOAN FUND

The Council of the University has recently established a Student Loan Fund which is managed by a committee under the chairman­ship of the Vice-Principal.

Loans may be made to an undergraduate where the committee is of the opinion that his academic performance is of sufficient merit and his financial circumstances warrant a loan.

The total outstanding accommodation to anyone undergraduate shall not normally exceed $200 at anyone time and an undergraduate granted a loan is required to enter into an agreement.

Repayment must commence not later than twelve months after graduation or when the borrower fails or withdraws from his course or on demand as required by the University. No interest is charged while the borrower is an undergraduate but interest at a rate of not less than 5% per annum on the balance owing from time to time is charged from the date of graduation or the date on which an under­graduate fails or withdraws from a course.

In special circumstances the Committee may grant a loan to a student other than an undergraduate.

Any student wishing to seek assistance from the Fund may apply in person to the Vice-Principal or through the President of the Students' Representative Council or his nominee.

UNIVERSITY ORGANISATIONS

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION

Included in the General Services Fee of the University is an amount payable to the Students' Association, a body to which all students of the University belong. The Students' Association is governed by the Students' Representative Council (SRC), which is elected each year in September to take office in the following April. The functions of the Students' Association are many and varied.

The SRC acts as the main liaison body between the student body and the University authorities. Complaints and requests from students may be handled by the Education and Welfare Committee, or by the SRC as a whole when brought to its attention by one of the Faculty or General Representatives. The Education and Welfare Committee is the part of the SRC most students come in contact with. The education side attempts to study the local and national needs of education and to bring these to the attention of the public and the government.

One of the major ways in which the income of the SRC is spent is in grants to affiliated clubs and societies (which include cultural, social, political and religious societies). To this end the Vice-President is the Clubs' and Societies Liaison Officer, and, with his assistant and the Clubs' and Societies' Committee, gives such help to these societies as they may seek from time to time.

The SRC is also responsible for publishing the student newspaper "Opus," the literary magazine "Nimrod" and the Orientation Hand­book, which may be seen around the campus at the time of their publication. A weekly "Bulletin" is published to publicise activities of the SRC, the Union and affiliated clubs and societies.

Each year the SRC organises, with assistance from the University and the Union, Orientation Week and other activities designed to help new students adjust to university life. Early in July Autonomy Day is also organised by the SRC - of this nothing more be said than that it is the equivalent of Commem, Foundation Day, or similar activities at other universities.

As the Students' Association is a constituent member of the National Union of Australian University Students, students of the University may take part in the activities of this body. Some of these activities which affect students more directly are the several inter­varsity cultural festivals, travel to New Zealand and many countries in Asia, volunteer aid projects in Papua/New Guinea, raising money for aboriginal scholarships and World University Service, national campaigns on education, and the national student newspaper "U."

RESEARCH IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The research programme in the Department is pursued in a number of loosely knit groups each concentrating on some branch of the subject, but with sufficient overlap to promote effective internal discussion and criticism.

Research in organic chemistry is concerned with the components of Xanthorrhoea resins and other natural products, the synthesis of related substances and of other new compounds including herbicides and fungicides and with the study of the kinetics and mechanism of organic reactions with particular reference to oxidation processes.

In physical and analytical chemistry interest is centered on adsorption and reaction of gases on solid surfaces, the properties of electrolytic solutions and on the kinetics and mechanism of solid­liquid reactions involving solid oxidants.

Research work in inorganic chemistry is related primarily to the synthesis of metal complexes, the elucidation of structures and the determination of stability constants and with the use of these com­pounds in solvent extraction and their possible role in biological systems.

The theoretical chemistry group is pursuing experimental and computational studies on metal-porphyrin complexes with special ref­erence to the thermodynamics of their formation and the nature of their chemical bonding.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY

GEOGRAPHY I

6 hours per week (2 hours lectures, 1 hour tutorial, 3 hours of practical work). Four days of field work are an integral part of the course. A final examination of two papers each of three hours. The three strands to this course are designed to introduce stud­ents to the earth as the home of man and to basic techniques required for this study.

(a) Practical Geography

The practical class of 3 hours per week is designed to enable students to gain proficiency in, and an understanding of, the tools of geographical analysis. It contains three sections:

(i) An introduction to the mechanics of reading and interpreting topographic maps. An integral part of this section is a one-day excursion designed to develop a basic frame of geographic reference and elementary field work skills.

(ii) The cartographic representation of quantitative data in distribution maps and diagrams .

(iii) An introduction to the statistical organisation and interpretation of quantitative data.

(b) A study of the processes resulting in and the integration of landforms, climate, soil and vegetation. Two days of field investigation are associated with this aspect of the course.

(c) A study of the evolution and patterns of world population and settlement. One day of field investigation is included in this part of the course.

GEOGRAPHY II

6 hours per week. (4 hours of lectures, two hours practical! tutorial). The course involves ten days field work. A final exam­ination of four papers each of two hours. One strand of this course is concerned with human impact on the landscape, the other stresses aspects of physical geography.

(a) Human Geography

A course of about 60 lectures with associated seminars, practical exrecises and field work. This involves a study of Historical Geography designed to develop an appreciation of the time-element, and the concept of change in geographic study, and of Economic Geography which studies the impact of economic activity and especially of agricultural pro­duction on the face of the earth.

59

(b) Physiography

A course of about 60 lectures with associated seminars, practical exercises and field work. One section of this course examines the water balance as an expression of the exchange of matter between the earth and its atmosphere. Another investigates the development of landforms in such topics as :-fluvial processes, slope processes, Cenozoic diastroph­ism, climatic changes and sea level changes. It studies structurally controlled landform and coastal landforms as "intrazonal" features and investigates the landforms, and related soil and vegetation of the different climate zones.

GEOGRAPHY III

4 hours per week. The course involves ten days' field work. A final examination of three papers each of three hours. The course is comprised of two studies.

(a) South-east Asia

A course of about 40 lectures and associated seminars designed to study the regional variety which exists in the monsoon Asian region. Because this is largely an under­developed area, the course work will concentrate on the study of the characteristics of underdevelopment and the areal manifestations of these characteristics.

(b) Political Geography

A course of about 40 lectures and associated seminars. This course involves the study of politics as a geographical in­fluence, the geographical characteristics of political areas, the internal problems of organisation in political areas and the external relationships between political areas. The state is taken as the primary unit of study, but attention may also be given to smaller unit areas.

GEOGRAPHY IV (Honours)

This course is designed in part as an introduction to research work in Geography. During the course each student is required to submit a thesis embodying the result of an original investi­gation on a subject approved by the Head of the Department of Geography.

A final examination of three papers each of three hours. Seminars and field work will be offered in the following:-

(a) The history and methodology of geographic study. (b) The impact of man and society on nature. (c) A systematic topic relating to the thesis work.

60

RESEARCH IN THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY

Research in the Department is divisible into the two broad fields of physical and human geography, with emphasis at present being more on the human field.

The major physical programme is concerned with the investigation of the problem of past and present tidal geomorphology. [W. F. GeyIJ. A further project, linking the human and physical fields, is concerned with the general problem of water allocation and water

use. [A. D. Tweedie].

Human geography interests reveal a number of specialisms as

follows:-

A study of New Guinea rubber production, which was commenced in 1968, is being continued. [Po G. Irwin].

A special aspect of historical geography is being investigated in South-eastern Queensland, where the progress of land settlement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is the subject of study. [J. C. R. Camm].

A detailed study is being made, within the Newcastle Urban Area of the urban neighbourhood as an area of socio-morphic coherence. [D. N. Parkes].

A comparative study of factors influencing the locations and attitudes to expansion of industries in Greater Newcastle and in a sample of Sydney's western suburbs is being undertaken. [M. R. Hall].

An investigation is being made into some aspects of the political geography of local government areas with reference to boundaries, community of interest and attitudes towards decentralisation. [K. W. Robinson].

Professor B. Nashar and Dr. R. S. Boesen are investigating the mineralogy, geochemistry and genetic relations of the Carboniferous and Permian andesitic associations of eastern New South Wales. As well, Professor Nashar is maintaining her interest in the conditions of formation of secondary minerals in basic lavas.

The role of chromatography in geology has claimed the attention of Associate Professor A. S. Ritchie who is seeking chromatographic methods applicable to the analysis of geologic materials under field and base camp conditions.

Mr. B. A. Engel is concerned with a detailed description of Upper Carboniferous marine faunas of north-eastern New South Wales and Mr. C. W. Mallett with a taxonomic and biostratigraphic study of Devonian Stromatoporoids of Eastern Australia.

Dr. C. F. K. Diessel and Dr. K. H. R. Moelle are attempting to interpret the sedimentary and structural history of the Sydney Basin. Dr. Diessel's particular interests lie in coalfield geology, coal petrology and palaeo-current analysis of the sediments in the Sydney Basin while those of Dr. Moelle are the kinematic analysis of joint systems and the effects of "stone-rolls" and associated features in the South­ern Coalfield, New South Wales, on mechanised mining operations in collieries.

Dr. S. St. J. Warne is. concerned with multi-method investigations into the development and application of advanced mineralogical techniques to mineral mixtures with special reference to minerals in and associated with coal.

At present Dr. R. Offler is carrying out preliminary investigations of the Pigna Barney Serpentine belt prior to commencing detailed structural, petrographic and chemical studies on this belt in the near future and completing projects on high grade metamorphic and metasomatic rocks in the Mt. Lofty Ranges, South Australia.

RESEARCH IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

A. SPECTROSCOPY (Dr. S. C. Baker)

Development of the Ebert scanning monochrometer continues and resolution exceeding 500,000 in the visible region has been attained. Vacuum plant and a microwave oscillator are now ready for the preparation and excitation of spectra. Hyperfine structures of selected substances are being examined directly.

B. EXO·ELECTRON EMISSION (Dr. J. A. Ramsey)

Electron emission from freshly abraded aluminium under high and ultra-high vacuum is being studied. It has been found that the development of the emitting surface is due to residual gas interaction subsequent to the development of the mono layer. Further lines of work are clearly indicated. Currently, gas analyses are underway to determine the effective species in the residual

gases.

C. IONOSPHERIC AND SPACE PHYSICS (Professor C. Ellyett)

(i) The major effort under this heading, involving a team of about six people, is a study of micropulsations of the earth's magnetic field. Three identical sets of equipment have been constructed to measure the velocity and direction of hydro­magnetic waves in an ionospheric duct. These waves are manifest as micro-pulsations at the earth's surface. One set of equipment is installed at a field station near Paterson, some 20 miles from New~astle. The other two sets are at Hobart and Woomera. The project is supported by the Office of Naval Research, U.S.N., and the Australian Research Grants Committee.

(ij) Studies are also being conducted at Paterson on the measure­ment of solar radio noise and of ionospheric absorption produced at mid-latitudes by solar X-ray emission. This project is supported both by the Australian Radio Research Board and the U.S.A.F.

D. METEOR STUDIES (Professor C. Ellyett and Dr. C. S. L. Keay)

Computational work is under way on meteor incidence on the earth's upper atmosphere. This project is supported by N.A.S.A. (U.S.A'>.

78

E. AUTOMATIC METEOR RECORDING (Dr. C. S. L. Keay)

Instrumentation is being developed using microelectronic logical circuitry so that r,adar echoes from meteors can be analysed in real time. This project is supported by the Australian Research Grants Committee and the Australian Radio Research Board.

F. THEORETICAL PHYSICS (Mr. G. A. Harle)

Research into relativistic transformation theory is being conducted in the fields of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.

81

RESEARCH IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY

The pattern of research in the Department covers a range of experimental and theoretical areas. Staff members pursue individual research interests, although there is considerable overlap and several joint projects are underway.

Research in psychophysiology is concerned with Nervous System reactivity and states of arousal.

Work in the developmental area is being done on state variables in small children. Research continues into the role of learning in the development of cognitive processes, and in the area of verbal be­haviour into aspects of organisation in short-term memory and into methodological questions related to the presentation of stimulus material. Dimensions of judgment of aesthetic stimuli have been investigated.

Perceptions and values associated with residential prestige in Newcastle are being studied in social psychology, and in the com­parative field, work is being carried out on early experience and the development of emotional behaviour and anxiety.

In mathematical psychology, models for the measurement of attitudes are being investigated and developed. A model for predicting the number of associations made by a subject to a stimulus is being investigated.
